RIKA ORIMOTO DECEASED AT THE AGE OF I1) • Rika’s mother died suddenly from unknown causes when Rika was five. • Two days before entering elementary school, Rika and her father got lost while mountain climbing. One week later, Rika was found alone and rescued from a shelter near the summit. • At the hospital, she met Yuta, who was being treated for pneumonia. They later ended up going to the same elementary school. • Her father was never found, and his death has never been confirmed. • Aware of how her appearance is perceived, Rika sometimes manipulates adults. • Rika was taken in by her grandmother on her father’s side, who strongly believes that Rika killed both her parents. • Rika stole the ring she gave Yuta from her grandmother’s dresser. It was her mother’s wedding ring. • When she was human, Rika was very friendly with Yuta’s younger sister. However, after becoming a vengeful curse, she became aggressive, which is why Yuta distanced himself from his family. • She dislikes everyone besides Yuta-especially girls and older guys. • The thing she dislikes the most in the world is her grandmother’s stewed eggplant. • She loves Yuta.

CHAPTER 2: BLACKER AND BLACKER COMPLETE MANIFESTA- TION IN 422 SECONDS. NO EXCUSES… … SATORU GOJO. …I WASN’T PLANNING ON MAKING ANY. 59 SPECIAL GRADE VENGEFUL CURSED SPIRIT RIKA ORIMOTO. WE LEFT OKKOTSU WITH YOU PRECISELY TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF SITUATION. WELL, TO BE HONEST…

WE KNOW NEXT TO NOTHING. HOW DID THIS GIRL, WHO HAS NO HISTORY OF SORCERY IN HER FAMILY… …BECOME SUCH AN IMMENSELY STRONG CURSE? PLEASE, LET US BE FOR A WHILE. WHAT WE LEARN WILL COME FROM TRIAL AND ERROR, STOP YOUR NONSENSE! …AN ENTIRE TOWN COULD HAVE BEEN DE- STROYED!! HAD RIKA ORIMOTO’S RAMPAGE CONTINUED… I WOULD’VE RISKED MY LIFE TO STOP THAT. BUT THERE’S ONE THING I CAN SAY FOR SURE… YOU CAN’T CONTROL WHAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. 60

..DON’T FORGET, I’M ON OKKOTSU’S SIDE. TRYING TO TAKE AWAY THE BEST YEARS OF YOUR YOUTH LIKE THAT. THERE’S NO WAY I’M GONNA LET THEM DO THAT. IF IT COMES TO THAT… DON’T FORGET, YUTA OKKOTSU’S SECRET EXECUTION HAS ONLY BEEN POSTPONED… 汉次鸟回京 仁拉元 DON’T WANNA BECOME LIKE THEM. I GOTTA BE CAREFUL. THOSE OLD FOOLS. SHEESH.

YES, MA’AM! YOU’RE GONNA SCORE A HIT ON ME, RIGHT? BUT UNRAVELING IT IS A DIFFERENT CASE. IT’S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO EXORCISE A CURSE AS STRONG AS RIKA. HOW…? ANALYZE THE MILLIONS OF KNOTS OF CURSED ENERGY… …AND UNTIE THEM ONE BY ONE. ONLY YOU, THE CURSED ONE, CAN DO /T. USE THIS. 64

A KATANA..! THINK OF IT LIKE A PIPE THAT’S ALREADY THERE YOUR CONNECTION TO RIKA CAME ABOUT THROUGH THE RING. THEN REPEAT THAT PROCESS, INCREASE THE ENERGY AND MASTER IT. A CURSE IS MOST STABLE WHEN POSSESSING AN ITEM. INVOKE THE CURSE OF RIKA, CHANNEL IT INTO THE KATANA AND CONTROL IT.

WE’RE GONNA REALLY PUT YA THROUGH THE WRINGER. AFTER ALL, YOU’RE SUPER WEAK. DO THIS, AND A BRIGHT, FREE FUTURE AWAITS. FOR YOU AND HER. …WHILE… MASTER CHANNELING THE CURSE INTO YOUR KATANA… LEARNING HOW TO SWORD FIGHT, ОКАУ? 66
